    My favorite part of his story is that after he was injured and being evacuated from the war zone, he realized that he lost his bible in the battlefield. He asked the people at the aid station if they had seen it but they said no. Eventually word got around to his division that he lost his bible. Knowing how important Doss' bible was to him, the division started looking for it, in a warzone, and ended up finding a month later and sending it to him shortly after. It goes to show how much the division respected him and how much they grew from when they were fresh recruits.

Its like the lawful good version of Mad Jack Churchhill. Nobody would believe he would even survive it if he had to do this feat during the day. Or if he yielded his spot on the stretcher. Or was truly only inspired by faith to never touch a weapon.

      I met Mr. Doss sometime in the mid to late 80’s. He was a old man by then. I was struck by his quiet and unassuming demeanor. He was almost awkward. What a man. Years later I was in the Marine Corps I met Robert E. Bush, another CMH awardee. I asked him about Mr. Doss. He said they did indeed know each other as they traveled in the CMH circle. He had high praises for Mr Doss. I feel so honored to have met that man. May he Rest In Peace. God bless America and God bless Mr. Trump.

A true inspiration to anyone, faithful or not. You don't need to have faith to respect or understand the humility and strength of this man - but faith sure helps.

      I think he was probably really sad he couldn't have saved more, and lived with the weight of that for the rest of his life. If he was proud he would have stopped at a reasonable number most people would have saved 9 people and stop like that's enough of that. He didn't and i think he would have kept going and saved every person in the war if he could have. I don't believe he was proud, even a little bit. And I'm sure the faces of those he couldn't saved were way more of a burden than the faces of those you killed to save yourself.

Thankfully there's people like him that do believe and do pray and is why many of Christians are being killed in other countries. There's indeed eternal life and if this man was like this and he never gave up on his faith, believe me when I say he is in a better place.

      Although we have many religions in this world, each saying that they are the true followers of God (or Gods)and that other religions are untrue and that they are heathens, but based on my teachings in my religion, God sees the deeds of a person and if the deed is true to heart (for example if you do charity, it must not be used as a deliberate tool for gaining fame or recognition...well not intentionally that is...).
      So even though Doss religious beliefs are different than mine. I feel that he should be treated well for his devotion in an "afterlife" or whatever is on the other side if his actions were true to heart.

    My wife and I had the honor of meeting Desmond Doss in the early to mid 1980's in CT when he came to testify to his experience in WWII. It is an understatement to say he was a humble man. He was the kindest, most honorable man I ever had the privilege to speak with. God was most certainly with him. The bookwas far better than the movie. My guess is, Mel Gibson had to dial it back as to seem more believable. Amazing story, amazing man, amazing God who shielded and guided him.
